NYPD Sergeant saves own life by jamming finger under the hammer
When I lived in RI I knew a retired Providence officer that had happened to in the 70's. He answered a call for a guy acting crazy and approached him. The guy jumped at him and ripped the revolver right out of the holster pistol whipped my friend and then pressed it up against his head and before he pulled the trigger he got his thumb in the way. The hammer dropped on his thumb and now the gun was jammed because his thumb was stuck. He managed to get his backup from his ankle holster and arrest the guy. Unfortunately for my friend he suffered a fractured skull from the pistol whipping and was forced to retire. Turns out the guy was on PCP and plead not guilty because of the drugs. He did jail time but my friend spent more time in the hospital than this POS did in jail.

SHTF Disater, Goto Gun and Why?
Joe another advantage bolt action has over the semi is less parts and a simpler design. A bolt action will outlast a semi and need fewer repair and less maintenance. Where would you get spare parts for your semi's? Bolt action guns are also less ammo sensitive. How many AR's are ammo sensitive? Semi's give an advantage in firepower so you need to decide what is a priority for you. Ideally you should have both because they compliment each.

Taurus 66 Revolver
686+ is an excellent choice. You really can't compare a Taurus to a S&W.

Bad Ammo Brands?
I had one of the Blazer aluminum 9MM cases split lengthwise in my XD9. I pulled the trigger and sparks shot out of the ejection port and made an odd sound.

22LR Rifle Questions
I have a Ruger 10/22, 15-22 and sold a GSG. I like the Ruger but it is more difficult to disasemble than the 15-22 so I give my vote to the 15-22 because it is as accurate as the 10/22 and the easiest gun I have owned to clean.

Some fun with a chrono
Maks the Winchester bulk pack was the Dynapoint GT 40gr copper washed. The Aguila was the 30gr Supermaximum Hyper Velocity and the Aguila 40 gr Intterceptor (1470 FPS). We also shot the CCI Velocitor. Do you have the results for it? It was a fun and educational time. PS I just checked the Wolf is Extra Match. This stuff better be good at $77 a brick. I think I will try the Wolf Match Target $54 a brick.

Hating on the Sigs
I actually had to check the "Diamond Plate" was legit. It looks so cheesy I thought it was photo shopped. It's a shame they have watered down the company image so much. When you read the CEO came over from Kimber it all makes sense. Kimber was the first manufacturer to really promote custom guns and then gun of the month. Then Kimber started every kind of custom gun so when you see where the new CEO of Sig did in the past these results are expected.

Warranty replacement....different serial number
Read the bold print. Who cares what they THINK or FEEL. They are officers of the law and the law states you can get a 90 extension. It's that simple. Why is everybody always so sheepish in demanding your rights?? The last town I lived in if you had the paperwork in on Mon you would have your permits by Wed-Thur. I had not purchased a pistol in a few years and applied for permits. Since the last time I had applied the chief had changed this could be a contributing factor. The detective processing my paperwork called me and asked "Why are you buying so many guns in the same caliber?" I told him because why would I buy every gun in a different caliber? Buying the same caliber is easier on ammo. He then asked "I f I still owned them all?" I replied I " I had sold a few". He then asked if he could stop by and physically verify what I still owned. I told him not without a warrant. Det Dick then told me in detail all the steps my paperwork was going to have to take and how meticulously Det Dick would scrutinize my paperwork. I asked "Are you threatening me because I did not allow you into my home"? Det actually stammered and went no. I told him do what you have to I am more than happy to bring anything you want to the PD. But you aren't entering my house. He sent me a certified letter with 15-20 different questions about permits they had on record and any errors. I called and gave him the info and waited. On the 29th day my letter arrived. Please stand up for YOUR rights. They try to get away with it because THEY CAN. They worked the fear of the police factor which I countered with my rights. I was neither rude or loud just persistent. They can't do anything to you you are not a criminal. I had contacted the NRA VP in NJ and was ready to fight if it came to it. They aren't so much as taking away our rights, it's us forfeiting our rights when intimidated.

Warranty replacement....different serial number
Which is cheaper? Paying for a permit or refinishing? Put in for 6 permits at a time that way your dept can have 6 months to process the next batch.

M&P 15-22
